1Dear Guitarist,

This method is for anyone who wants to learn how to play the guitar or those who wish to improve their playing techniques. It doesn’t matter if you have an electric, acoustic steel string or classical acoustic nylon stringed guitar. How-ever for some exercises it’s best to have an electric one.

This method is the backbone of your basic technical guitar studies. Next to this I advise you to; always investigate all your favorite musicians and bands. There are thousands of legal good downloadable tabs on the internet and you can look up any theoretical subject concerning music theory. Therefore I tried to focus mainly on nice playable exercises, and kept the theory side limited to a minimum.

Another element is to present this method in mainly tablature and chord sym-bols, which is much easier for the guitarist to work with. (Tablature was the way of writing music for lute in the middle ages and renaissance.)

Book 1 : Basic chord changes, strumming and picking techniques.

Book 2 : Basic scales, right-, and left hand techniques, improvisation.

Book 3 : Note reading, progressive scales & chords

If you manage to come all the way with me through these three books you will be quite an advanced guitar player having learned all the basic techniques for your right and left hand. Next to that you will have build up basic knowledge of musical theory. Most important however; developed a musical mind with senses for melody, harmony, rhythms and style. Hopefully that will help you starting of exploring your creative mind, and that doesn’t necessarily have to end in music at all.

The books come with a play-along CD so that you can play along where indicated. Have fun !!

Vincent Vaneker

1 : Do you have everything: * a good instrument (and amplifier) ? * a chair ? * a music stand ? * a room to practise ?

2 : Do you know what you want to achieve for the next lesson. ?

3 : Listen carefully to what you play; does it really sound good...??? Do you listen at all...??

4 : Try to find out where your problems are. Is it the left hand or the right hand ?? Practice hands (and fingers) separately. Repeat that single problem daily.

5 : Be creative in finding practice solutions. Try to write your own exercises.

6 : Be persistent in solving a problem it won’t work in 5 minutes. Repetition is the key to success.

1 organizingsounds

Sound comes to us as vibrations through the air. The speed of this vibration defines the pitch that we hear (high or low) and is measured in Hertz. For example the A string of your guitar vibrates 110 times a second. If we take exact-ly half of that string (the twelfth fret) the vibrations doubles to 220 times a second. These two tones sound “more or less” the same.

This is a law of physics and was first discovered by Phytagoras who was a Greek math-ematician from the 6th century B.C.

Our tone system and instruments are build into 12 equal (half) steps from one vibration to it’s doubled vibration. We have 7 natural notes and 5 altered notes, here are their names;

string length 1 Vibration = x Hertz

String length 1/2 Vibration = 2x Hertz

Western music is based on seven tone scales. Solmization represents these without nam-ing the notes. Here is how it looks;

2 : Sol-mi-za-tion & Scales

do - re - mi - fa - so - la - ti - do1 1 ½ 1 1 1 ½

Starting on Do you see the most famous scale of all, the major scale. Now you can start to fill in note names. all twelve tones from our tone system can start as first. so we can create twelve different major scales.

11 INTERVALS &

CHORD THEORY

* A Unison (the First), Fourth, Fifth and the Octave (the Eight) are called Perfect. Smaller then Perfect is called Diminished and bigger is called Augmented.

* The Second, Third, Sixth and Seventh are called Major or Minor.

1 : IntervalsWe learned already in the first chapter that our tone system is build aftera law of physics. Pythagoras and his contemporary acousticians/musicians/mathematicians believed that the most consonant interval was a unison (i.e. the same pitch sung or played by two or more voices).

The other intervals were progressively more dissonant. The octave then would be the next “most consonant”, then the fifth, the fourth, the major third, the minor third, the major second, then the “most dissonant” minor second.

2 : Chord buildingBasic chords have 3 different tones; the ground note, the third and the fifth (1-3-5).

As an example we take the scale of C maj. Every note of the scale can be the ground note for a new chord.

do - re - mi fa - so - la - ti do1 1 ½ 1 1 1 ½

Major =

A major chord consist out of a ground note, major third and perfect fifth.

do - re - mi fa - so - la - ti do1 1 ½ 1 1 1 ½

Minor =

A minor chord consist out of a ground note, minor third and perfect fifth.

1 + 1 = a major third

1 + 1 + ½ + 1 = perfect fi fth

1 + ½ + 1 + 1 = perfect fi fth

1 + ½

= a minor third
